In today's wellness world, the concept of "self care" has become a trendy buzzword, often associated with luxurious spa days or Instagram-worthy tropical retreats. However, long before it was commercialized, self care emerged as a powerful act of self-preservation - a lifeline rooted in the fundamental human drive to nurture our own wellbeing, sometimes against all odds.

At its core, choosing self care is an act of self-love and a declaration that we are inherently worthy of caring for our holistic selves. When practiced consistently, self care can foster a profound sense of self-trust that reverberates through all areas of our lives, including our most vital moments of connection, creativity and self-reflection.

For many in our High Priestess community, self care has manifested as finally prioritizing relief from issues like endometriosis, menstrual pain or painful sex after tolerating these conditions for far too long. Rouse Stimulating Arousal Oil has been a game-changer for those seeking natural sexual wellness options for solo or partnered pleasure so they can stay connected to their sensual selves. We've witnessed firsthand how this courageous commitment to sexual self care can be utterly transformative.

In connecting with the High Priestess community through emails, user research interviews, in-person events and online discussions, we've been privileged to bear witness to the raw, multifaceted realities of the women's experiences, including:

• Women just beginning to understand and embrace their bodies' profound pleasurable potential
• The widespread impact of hormonal imbalances on sexuality and overall wellbeing 
• The seismic shifts the sexual body undergoes during pregnancy, birth and postpartum 
• How lacking comprehensive sexual education can be, even in progressive areas, and the immense effort required to claim true sexual empowerment
• Inspiring stories of reclaiming sexuality after trauma and releasing layers of inherited body shame and genital stigma

These are not isolating struggles. They represent the amazingly resilient, yet oftentimes silenced, shared truths of the female experience that we all can relate to on some level.

It's time to bring these conversations around sexual self care out of the shadows and into the light. In the name of holistic self care, we feel called to share the most powerful practices and perspectives on sexual healing that we've learned.

Human existence is fundamentally grounded in our physical, sensual flesh. No matter your background or experiences, your body is a holy vessel - unique, essential, miraculous and ever present. Self care in the physical, erotic realm is not just recommended, it's utterly vital and non negotiable for health, sovereignty and freedom.

We are honored to provide resources for you to learn about your body through the lenses of radical permission and unbridled curiosity. Our deepest hope is that this journey leads you to radiant vitality, unapologetic self-empowerment and soul-shaking depths of pleasure.

Because at the end of the day, nothing is more life-giving and healing than the simple yet profound act of whole-bodied, sexual self care. It's a homecoming to the root of your erotic power and sacred worthiness. It's a re-birth into your fullest, most vibrant self.

So if you've been craving an opportunity to step firmly onto the path of erotic self-reclamation and sensual renaissance, trust that you've arrived in the right place. We'll keep the candles lit and the door open for you, brave one. The journey to sexual self care begins now.
